Mads:
Looking through the httpsd.conf file, I see a bunch a lines that are of
the form:
LoadModule mod_<something> modules/mod_<something>.so
And then later:
AddModule mod_<something>
What type of modules are these? These appear to get installed by default
when apache gets built. Following the directions for including mod_ssl,
this time it added something a little different, libssl.so, but it also
added in the line to the httpsd.conf file to load this module, while
apache was grinding through the make process.
This is my eventual goal with php4, but aside from that, how do I tell
what type of modules are the ones mentioned above? Is there a reason why
I would need to build a module one way or another? It seems when I build
the php4 stuff by itself after building apache, I get a problem when
specifying the --with-apxs option, but it compiles when I use the
with-apache option. I'm happy using the --with-apache option, but I'm
wondering if there is a way that I can incorporate the build of the php4
module when apache-ssl builds, so this entry automatically gets added into
the httpsd.conf file while apache builds.
This stuff may seem incredibly simple to most of you, and I have read the
docs, but I still don't understand a lot of it. I apologize if I seem
slow on this, but I'm trying to learn the best I can.
